I just brewed my 3rd batch - all Brewers Best kits. This one is an IPA with Nottingham dry yeast.
The brewing instructions say to sprinkle the contents of the yeast packet over the wort. I did this on my first batch and everything was ok and tasted great, but with mild airlock bubbling for about 2 days.
The directions on the yeast packet say to suspend the yeast in warm water and let stand for 15 minutes. Then stir. Then avoid temperature shock by adding a little wort every 5 minutes until the wort is the yeast is the same temp as the wort.
I did the yeast suspension, but didnt mix it with a little wort every 5 minutes, because the wort had already been cooled per the previous step in the instructions.
Anyway, the airlock has not bubbled, and its now almost 48 hours after putting the lid on the fermenter. Is there anything I can do at this point to save this batch? or start over? Or maybe it will start bubbling?
Thanks!
